Soloing, the EXP-penalty shouldn't be a problem at all, especially if you squat!
.

Okay, ill have to take your word for it, its been a long time since ive played IWD2 and ive never soloed it.

But there is no reason to take the pal levels earlier than necessary, when will be my last chance (which ...

No!
But you won't find it directly, you wil get some hints, and it will be quite a difficult battle to get it!

Interesting, but still i dont like the prospect of a 20% XP penalty :)

If i had chosen an Aasimar(and therefore no XP penalty) instead i wouldnt have my Spell Resistance, but then ...

permanent bonus, just recover the sword at the pass (graveyard) and no, it's not the moonblade!
.

Just to get this straight, i am currently just arrived at the 'Horde Fortress', so its not too late?

Ah, wait, since im a Drow and not an Aasimar i will take a 20% XP penalty if i multiclass to ...

AFAIR +2 CHA for the pal quest, 2 times one in normal one in HOF


Im only interested in normal mode, im not going to play again in HOF.
But still, is that a permanent bonus or just an item?

Did you say the quest was given as early as when you are asked to recover the moonblade. Damn, im much ...

I think the +4 on CHA boni is much better, as it gives extra spells to - and AFAIR even more then the last 2 Sorc levels!


I was refering to spells known, not how many can be cast per day. The former is not affected by CHA. Btw, why do you get +4 CHA?


Besides you get at least +10 on all your ...

Just took a look at the spell progression tables (at sorcerors place) and i think ill stick with a pure sorceror. I like casting lots of spells :)

However, im hard pressed to choose level 2 spells. Are the stat boosting spells worth it(i assume they dont stack with other stat boosts?)?.

I Knock ...

Didn't see this one before posting, would ignore the 2nd skill point and reduce INT and start with higher STR and CON!
.

STR is irrelevant, im not going to fight enemies in melee, im going to blow them up :)

Without the second skill point, i cant get Spirit of flame(and similar) without falling ...

I ended up with a drow: 10 / 20 / 14 / 12 / 4 / 20.

12 INT was necessary to provide 2 skill points per level.

The low STR is a bit annoying in regards to carrying capacity but the high DEX is very nice for AC and also allows me to attack decently with ranged weapons (if IWD2 is anything like BG2 ...

Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)


It means that the file in question is corrupt. Cyclic Redundancy Checks is the error correction used on CD's. Your CD is probably scratched. Try to clean it, and then make a backup copy.

It's advantadgeous if you get 10 spellcraft so you can get the elemental feats like "spirit of flame" for elemental resistance and 20 percent extra damage. But you'll want to max out concentration so 10 int is recommend for this.


Good point. How many skill points do you get per level? Would a ...

Solo sorceror stats and race

Just dug out IWD2 from a pile out of old games, and looking to solo as a sorc (had a blast long ago doing that in BG2).

Ive been playing NWN&NWN2 so im familiar with the 3e rules.

I could however use some assistance in choosing stats and race.

RACE:
Its either Aasimar(+1ECL), Drow(+2ECL) or human ...

Best party size for the available XP?

Hi,

Just dug out RoMD from my old games collections and realized i only played it for a short while before playing something else (maybe BG or NWN, dont remember).

I would like to give it a second chance :)

I know that its possible to solo this game, but i was wondering which party size is best ...
